This is a pretty good product, but it did leave a slight whitecast. It didn't make my face greasy or cause any breakouts. Considering the price, I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

Although I have mature skin, I think this product is fairly effective of protecting the facial skin from harmful rays. Be sure to use a moisterizer underneath this product as I think it is somewhat drying. My dermatologist stresses the importance of sunscreen at above SPF 50 --- and I agree after I having a small pre-cancerous spot on my face removed. I'd probably go to a dermatologist before purchasing again.

This is a great sunscreen. I bought it awhile ago and used it but didnt fully commit to it. My dermatologist told me though I should start using a physical sunscreen. So I remembered this product. Just smooth a small amount on after your moisturizer and it absorbs pretty quickly, does not sit on top of your face and feel uncomfortable, and seems to act as a primer and give a nice even foundation for makeup. This is definitely an HG for me, and I feel good cause I know I am getting the sun protection I need!

I have oily face making me very hard to pick a suitable sunscreen. A lot of the sunscreen in the market cause my face to become more oily which in turn cause break out. However, this sunscreen did not make my face look oily at all. I love the texture and it really do not clog my pores. Conclusion is, I love it and definitely will buy it again although the price is expensive.

This is my favourite sunscreen ever! It does not have the lotion/creme texture and may feel a bit oily but the product glides thin enough. I like the texture as it does not feel thick on my skin.
I have oily and acne prone skin but this product did not break me out.
Sometime I try to venture out to other products as this is quite expensive but
I end up coming back to this. (My skin tends to react badly to many sunscreens)
After application my skin looks dewy and almost gives a glowing effect which is very lovely.
It is my HG sunscreen and I would recommend for others to try.

I did not like this product. While it didn't leave a white cast, it quickly felt really greasy and made my face look very oily. Because this stuff gets so much love, I dusted some powder and gave it a few more days. Big mistake. Not only did I have a serious breakout, BUT after spending a day outside (diligently reapplying) I still got a sunburn and a bunch of freckles I'd been working on fading got some serious color.
Big thumbs down.

This is one of my desert island products. I've got dehydrated, oily, acne-prone skin and live in a seriously dry, hot place. I'm also very pale and burn easily. I thought nothing could possibly work for me, but this does! It goes on sticky and white. Do not panic. After a minute or two it absorbs well into the skin, and my skin feels fresh and comfortable, not oily or all. (By the way I put this on over my day serum, after waiting one or two minutes for the serum to be absorbed.) I wait another two or three minutes before applying my tinted moisturizer, and there's no "balling" involved. Perfect. It lasts the whole day, is a great base for my makeup, provides great mineral-based SPF and does not break me out. The huge caveat is that when I used this in the States, it felt greasy and heavy on my skin. Only in the desert (with my newly dehydrated skin, perhaps) has it worked so perfectly for me.

I heard so many raves about this product that I rushed to the dutyfree counter at the airport when I went to Australia and bought 2 bottles. S$50-52 per bottle and I am starting to regret my impulse. Firstly, I have to say that I have major oily skin, so I don't expect any miracles but this product actually adds on to the oil slick!! The white Biore sunscreen bottle is still my HG even though it costs only about S$12 cause it controls shine slightly. Secondly, maybe it's not suited to sg climate but this thing actually rubs off in little white residue after application. This is a major put-off cause I apply makeup after sunscreen and it is not appealing to see little bits fallout. Thirdly, it leaves a white cast if not applied perfectly. You should apply bb cream or tinted moisturizer if u intend to use this cause it tends to be obvious if u missed a spot while applying this sunscreen. I have to say this is not the worst product I've tried, but for this price I expected much better.

This is a good physical sunblock. It isn't as whitening as I originally feared when I began using it and it is lightweight. It works well over serums or other treatment products. I will probably not purchase again in spite of all this because it seems a little drying to my combination skin and I live in a high desert climate. If you have oily pale skin and live in a humid climate this would be aces.

I work outdoors in a beach resort and have tried every suncream under the sun. This is the best one I have found. Absorbs great and doesn't leave me with a greasy face. A little pricy for a small bottle, but a little goes a long way.

This is such a hard product to review. Firstly I think the size of the product is ridiculous. It is such a tiny bottle and it is so expensive. I feel as though I am being thoroughly ripped off every time I purchase it and for that reason, I am removing one lipstick. It is sunscreen and should not be so expensive! The product itself is fantastic! I am currently using retinaldehyde skincare, so I have to have sunscreen on every day. I apply this prior to applying my foundation in the morning and I also apply it over my neck and chest area. Even though it is just meant to be sunscreen, it somehow makes my foundation look amazing. I have used other sunscreen products under my makeup before and they have not made my makeup look as good as this. It also does exactly what it is meant ot do and that is to protect my skin from the sun. It does not irritate or react in any way. I just wish that the product was bigger!

The formula is thin but it clogs the pores like any other, and worse because it's chock full of silicones and oils. Also, it doesn't protect very well. A previous reviewer was right. This is the same as the cheap sunscreens available at Asian drugstores, to be used under makeup.

Edit: This is just too oily. My face is an oily mess in just a few hours wear. I looked in the mirror many times in horror, minutes short of some meeting. It also clogs my pores (as most things do), and this together with clinique Sun SPF 50 have made my face a war zone, full of breakouts, when I had clear skin before. I wasnt aware sun spf had Shea butter in it, and I wasnt aware this oil-free lotion, would be so... oily and comedogenic.
Sad, to expensive for what it is. Save your buck and go to the dermatologist.

I've been looking for the perfect sunscreen for my oily skin that has mild to sometimes moderate breakout w/slight melasma. I've tried all the cheap drug store stuff with no luck cause my skin instantly gets shiny and greasy after. So I read the reviews on this and decided to go out and get it. This stuff is amazing! It has a light milky consistency that smells great, absorbs quick, and dries matte. I put it on twice on my face and neck to make sure I get good protection.It seems to keep my face matte through out the day which I love bc my face usually gets shiny a half hour after washing it or putting make up on. At $38 bucks its not cheap but worth the money for those with shine problems as it is a sunscreen and mattifier imo and feels like you have nothing on. I guess for the price they can give you more. Shiseido does. I would say this is not for those w/dry skin although it could work if you use a moisturizer. This is my favorite facial product so far.

This is a quality product. It does exactly what it should. The reason I wouldn't repurchase it is because it is too small and the product is expensive. I cannot understand how a sunscreen can be so expensive. They need to give you more product if they are going to charge so much.

amazing! This sunscreen is perfect. It is non-greasy and lightweight. It rubs in and dries very well. Hasn't made me break out at all.
